Summary: John does some checking up on a teammate.


Sundays were, historically, a day to sleep in. The Sunday after spending all night at a club was a day to practically sleep away. It was the first time John had relaxed in weeks and while he'd woken up briefly with each interruption, such as children waking early, people coming and going, staying curled up asleep against a wall -- because he'd made sure they staked out a section of the room where they had the cover of a wall at their back during the night -- let him sleep for hours around all the activity.

But, now he was awake and hungry. He was heading for a snack and considering bringing back a simple meal for both himself and Brian when he noticed a lone red tail hawk in the sky through the window. The sight drew him outside for a moment. It was one of those things he missed about Echo Park. There'd been hawks in the Hollywood Hills that would drift in lazy circles over the house in the afternoon, probably looking for field mice. Like the stars at night, John had found watching them soothing.

It was as he was turning to go back inside that he noticed Claudia was outside as well. She'd been coming outside more since they got there, he'd noticed. John assumed to practice her power, which really required outdoors in a way, like his. But, as he felt a little responsible for her after she'd reached out to him about getting ready to leave this world and he hadn't checked in with her or most of the others the night before and she was right here, he detoured for a moment. "Hey, you have fun last night? I'm glad you could come along even if I wasn't as good a host as I should have been."
